Problem with buying an over extended (original 2 bed) terraced house common to E11 or E17 is that whilst you might get a decent sized house at the end of it, you cannot change the size of the garden (which normally is fairly small at between 15-30 feet on average).
I had to move to wanstead/aldersbrook to get what I wanted as a decent sized family garden (80ft+). I'd have happily have stayed in my last house at 1250sq ft but the garden simply wasn't a sustainable size at 20ft.
